Luna the witch cat

In a cozy village nestled at the edge of a whispering forest, there live a little cat named Luna. She isn’t just any ordinary cat—Luna is a witch’s apprentice, though her magical skills are still a work in progress. She lives in a tiny cottage, cluttered with jars of herbs, glowing crystals, and books. In the evenings Luna flies on her little broom through the quiet forest gathering herbs for her potions.

Luna is a charming witch cat amigurumi who comes complete with her own tiny broomstick and pointed hat. This adorable black and purple cat stands about 6 inches tall and makes the perfect Halloween decoration or gift for cat lovers who appreciate a touch of magic.

The finished Luna sits upright with her little witch hat perched between her ears and her miniature broom held in one paw. Her big safety eyes give her an innocent, curious expression that contrasts delightfully with her mystical witch theme. The pattern uses soft cotton yarn in black, brown, and purple shades, creating a plush toy that's huggable and durable. This makes an excellent gift for Halloween, a birthday present for anyone who loves cats or witches, or a handmade decoration for your own home. Luna's compact size means she fits perfectly on a bookshelf, desk, or bedside table. The intermediate-level pattern includes detailed photos for each step, making it manageable even if you're still building your amigurumi skills. What sets Luna apart is her personality. She's not a spooky Halloween prop—she's a friendly apprentice witch who's still learning her craft. That backstory gives her character and makes her feel special. Parents love her as a gentler alternative to scary Halloween decorations, and crafters appreciate the satisfying process of watching her come to life row by row.
